Copy writer has a sense of humor:

quote:

One Delta flight was diverted to New Orleans, while the fate of three other flights are up in the air.

Airport official Jim Caldwell says that people with morning flights are urged to call the airport.

Small airports are supposed to have the runway lights come on when pilots double click their mics. Hmm

The tower is staffed from 0500-0000

Sounds like an equipment problem, a very embarrassing equipment problem.

Those pax will get to ride a bus from MSY to BTR

And as a country we have terrible airports, so it's in the running for worst airport on the planet.

I will agree that BTR is a terrible airport from a consumer point of view, but in terms of airfield capacity and layout it is more than enough. I will be curious to see what the cause of this was.

As a nation our airports are miles ahead of other forms of domestic infrastructure, but they do not necessarily compare to Frankfurt, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong or Doha because the nature of ownership and the passenger composition is 180 degrees different.

Explain why our airports are terrible... Provide some details,you sound like someone who flew through Changi once and are using that as a measuring stick for every US airport

Even going from Charles De Gaul to LaGuardia was striking.


And don't even bother flying Newark

Dalaman was alright I guess

For someone who flies so much, you'd know that LGA doesn't serve CDG. Or any European destination, for that matter.

I'm to understand that travel through BTR is ranked dead last in appeal to suspected child molesters.
